Contini, Carina

Carina Contini and her husband Victor are the grandchildren of two immigrant Italian families that arrived in Scotland at the beginning of the last century. Their families have been at the heart of serving food in Scotland since then. They are passionate about the best local ingredients and work closely with over 50 artisan Scottish suppliers. This ensures that throughout the year they get the best of Scotland's larder. In recognition of her achievements and support for local, seasonal cuisine, Slow Food Chefs Alliance invited Carina to join as its first female chef in January 2012.
